'''https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.genealogy.medieval/rVuM XsC0lGc''': A good possibility presents itself in identifying the fam ily of Clarice, first wife of Sir Adam de Everingham of Laxton, Notts . & c. (d. bef 8 May 1341). The record in CP (Vol. V -Everingham , pp. 187-8) is brief: ' He m., lstly , before 12 Jan. 1307/8, Cl arice. ' I find one Clarice or Clarissa in the 13th century record o f an equivalent social rank: Clarice de Tregoz, daughter of John de Tr egoz of Eaton Tregoz, co. Hereford (lst Lord Tregoz, d. 21 Aug 1300) b y Mabel FitzWarin, widow of William de Crevequer. Clarice de Tregoz wa s married before Oct 1276 to Roger la Warre, of Wickwar, co. Glouceste r & c., lst Lord La Warre (d. 20 Jun 1320) and was ancestress thereb y of the subsequent Lords de la Warr and many besides. The strong pos sibility that Clarice, wife of Sir Adam de Everingham, was a daughte r of Roger la Warre and Clarice de Tregoz exists based on the followin g: 1. As noted by others of the list who have commented o n this observation, Clarice or Clarissa was a relatively rare n ame amongst the upper strata of society. 2. The marriage o f Clarice de Tregoz (1276 or before) runs well with the probabl e birth date of Clarice, wife of Sir Adam: given his birth dat e of 29 Aug 1279, his wife Clarice was probably born betwee n 1279 and 1290. Their eldest son Adam de Everingham wa s born ca. 1307 according to CP. 3. There were daughters of the m arriage of Roger la Warre and Clarice de Tregoz. In Knights o f Edward I, Vol. V (Harl. Soc. series, Vol. 84), the rec ord of Sir Roger la Warre names only his sons John and Roger, b ut does state (p. 158): ' Going to Gascony for K[ing Edward ] he has grant that if he die there, leaving his hei r a minor, his Exors. may hold Wykewarre Manor, Glou., and Br ustlyngton Manor, Som., during such minority, and apply the r evenues for marriage of his daughters, 9 Nov. 1295.' 4 . There are IGI records of two individuals named Clarice la War re, one born either 1278 or 1279 [no spouse indicated] and anot her born 'abt 1298'. The latter is shown in LDS Ancestral File s as the daughter of Roger la Warre and Clarice de Trego z, and married to Roger Savage ca. 1324 - this individual is (n ot proven but) more likely to have been a daughter of John la W arre, 2nd Lord la Warre who m. aft 19 Nov 1294 Joan de G relle. A proven identification of this Clarice would help to fill thi s gap in the ancestry of the Lords Hastings (Elsing), the Soothills o f West Rasen and many others, including several members of the list . I have no evidence in hand from any Visitation pedigree or other so urce which would confirm or disprove such an identification. If anyon e of the list might have information or suggestions which would furthe r (or even, complete) this research, it would be greatly appreciated . John P. Ravilious (14 giugno 2002)
